Lol cheers guys il put that top of the shopping list
That's pretty much up to you. There are loads of reviews out there for Red Sea skimmers and the same for the NYOS ones. I can only comment on the NYOS one, and I can't fault it.Just seen a RSk300 skimmer forsale if there any good or go for the skimmer you guys recommend?
Your shopping list looks great, especially the Nyos 160.Evening

Nyos 160
Deltec NFP509 reactor
Uv
Rowaphose 1000 ml
Seachem matrix
Carbon
Ordered the cups with media floss
Heater
I looked this evening I think I’m going to remove the manifold as now iv not got the C-skim it serves no purpose
I find in the winter I don't need the cooling nor heating functions. The LED's do give off heat, as do all the pumps, and this is normally enough to keep the water to the required temperature. In the Summer I do need a chiller, as it can reach 40 degrees here ! It's mass hysteria in the UK when it reaches 30 degreesIm not sure if il need it if I’m honest, the lighting is LED so that won’t produce heat my house is generally cool too, il monitor that if I need one il pick one up, I’m not gonna use that reactor but will have the carbon in bags not sure about the rowophos but I’m sure I had it in a chamber in the sump
I’ve never used a chiller for the S650 in summer, I just have a large pedestal fan pointing at the surface and it keeps the heat well under control and in autumn in gets put away. It will easily cool the water from around 30c to 25-26c.Im not sure if il need it if I’m honest, the lighting is LED so that won’t produce heat my house is generally cool too, il monitor that if I need one il pick one up, I’m not gonna use that reactor but will have the carbon in bags not sure about the rowophos but I’m sure I had it in a chamber in the sump
If you look at the picture on post 14 you took of the back of the tank, there is a round black/grey cap on the right hand side. From memory the nipple is at the bottom of it to attach the RO water tube to.I spoke to nobbygas he’s said maybe look at another reactor rather than the NYOS torque or il get 2 DD FMR75 one for carbon one for rowophos, on the DD reactors il run them via a pump
Sorry I was mistaken I don’t think I need a Deltec NFP509
I can’t find where you attach the pipe on the Top up tank at the back of the DT
Today my skimmer has been ordered I spoke to the chap in the shop that’s running a RSM650 he’s not running rowophos or carbon but another fluid to do the same job via a foster sorry I can’t remember the name of it now and to me sounds the right route for me to go sown
